In this study, gallium oxide thin films were deposited via radio frequency sputtering and it was found that adjusting the DC target potential can improve the film quality and increase the oxygen content.
Ga2O3 is a promising material in the optoelectronics and semiconductor industry. In this work, gallium oxide thin films were deposited via radio frequency (RF) sputtering, using a liquid Ga target. The reactive sputtering was carried out using different oxygen flow rates and DC target potentials induced via the RF power. The thickness of the samples varied between 160 nm and 460 nm, depending on the preparation conditions. The composition and the refractive index of the layers were investigated via energy-dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and spectroscopic ellipsometry, respectively. It was found that, through the use of a lower DC target potential, a better film quality and higher oxygen content can be achieved. The reactive sputtering was modeled based on the Berg model, with the aim of determining the sputtering yields and the sticking coefficient. It was shown that an increase in DC target potential leads to the preferential sputtering of gallium.
